This year I decided to make my own Fall front door wreath which turned out to be super simple and inexpensive too. Grab a wreath form ($4.00), a few strands of garland berries ($9.00 for 3), artificial leaves ($6.00) and a small amount of burlap (I already had this olive colored burlap in my fabric stash).

My kids plan to carve their pumpkins this week and when they wrap that effort up, I'll stair-step the pumpkins on the front steps.

I think that will finish off this Fall, front door decor nicely.

If I had purchased this wreath pre-made, I'm sure it would have cost me much more than the $20 I spent to make it myself.

I not only saved a few dollars, I now (and more importantly) also have the satisfaction of saying "hey, I made that myself".

That's always a good feeling.

So, what kind of decorations are part of your front door decor this Fall? Did you make your own wreath?

If not, I hope you're inspired to give it a try.

WANT MORE IDEAS FOR FALL DECOR?

I've been participating in a variety of Fall-inspired, Linky parties all month and the soirees are loaded with great ideas and projects. Pop by my blogging friend Melissa's blog over at the Inspired Room for a look at some beautiful Fall porches and mantels. You've got to stop by Craftberry Bush for Lucy's Fall Linky Party which is runneth over with fab Fall decor and inspiration as well as Jen's linky get-together at Jennifer Ruzzo.

ALSO, COMING UP ON FRIDAY

You know what they say about "an apple a day". Well, no one ever said you have to eat that apple raw, right?

Coming up on Friday (10/19) I'll show you how to make this delicious baked apple dessert that may be just what the doctor ordered (sort of).

It's another super simple (you know I lean toward super simple) recipes that will take you less than an hour start to baked finish.

Hope you pop by this blog again later this week for THE FRIDAY FOODIE and a spoonful of tasty Caramel Apple Tarte.

I absolutely love that wreath! I love fall so much!
